This is a link for a dreidel applique that I received from the Sew Jewish website. I think I sent you information about the site a few months ago.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE
A dreidle is a wooden/plastic/metal top that Jewish children (and some adults). It is four sided with the , Hebrew letters.. NUN, GIMMBEL, HEY SHIN. The letters stand for words which in English translate into "A Great Miracle Happened There.
Players spin the top and based on the letter either put in or take out tokens (candy, ships, coins, etc)
In Israel the Shin is replaced with a PEY. The translation is A GREAT MIRACLE HAPPENED HERE.
